With Windows 10 Build 14972 in Developer Mode, a new flag is supported
by CreateSymbolicLink() to create symbolic links even when running
outside of an elevated session (which was previously required).
This new flag is called SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE and
has the numeric value 0x02.
Previous Windows 10 versions will not understand that flag and return an
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, therefore we have to be careful to try passing
that flag only when the build number indicates that it is supported.
For more information about the new flag, see this blog post:
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/
This patch is loosely based on the patch submitted by Samuel D. Leslie
as https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1184.

Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).
However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.
It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().
Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on

Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.
By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.
The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').
Reminder: This would need to be changed if / when we find a way to run the
test suite in a non-MSys-based shell (e.g. dash).

The retry pattern is duplicated in three places. It also seems to be too
hard to use: mingw_unlink() and mingw_rmdir() duplicate the code to retry,
and both of them do so incompletely. They also do not restore errno if the
user answers 'no'.
Introduce a retry_ask_yes_no() helper function that handles retry with
small delay, asking the user, and restoring errno.
mingw_unlink: include _wchmod in the retry loop (which may fail if the
file is locked exclusively).
mingw_rmdir: include special error handling in the retry loop.

Git typically doesn't trust the stat.st_size member of symlinks (e.g. see
strbuf_readlink()). However, some functions take shortcuts if st_size is 0
(e.g. diff_populate_filespec()).
In mingw_lstat() and fscache_lstat(), make sure to return an adequate size.
The extra overhead of opening and reading the reparse point to calculate
the exact size is not necessary, as git doesn't rely on the value anyway.

When obtaining lstat information for reparse points, we need to call
FindFirstFile() in addition to GetFileInformationEx() to obtain the type
of the reparse point (symlink, mount point etc.). However, currently there
is no error handling whatsoever if FindFirstFile() fails.
Call FindFirstFile() before modifying the stat *buf output parameter and
error out if the call fails.
Note: The FindFirstFile() return value includes all the data that we get
from GetFileAttributesEx(), so we could replace GetFileAttributesEx() with
FindFirstFile(). We don't do that because GetFileAttributesEx() is about
twice as fast for single files. I.e. we only pay the extra cost of calling
FindFirstFile() in the rare case that we encounter a reparse point.
Note: The indentation of the remaining reparse point code will be fixed in
the next patch.

With respect to symlinks, the current stat() implementation is almost the
same as lstat(): except for the file type (st_mode & S_IFMT), it returns
information about the link rather than the target.
Implement stat by opening the file with as little permissions as possible
and calling GetFileInformationByHandle on it. This way, all link resoltion
is handled by the Windows file system layer.
If symlinks are disabled, use lstat() as before, but fail with ELOOP if a
symlink would have to be resolved.

GetFileAttributes cannot handle paths with trailing dir separator. The
current [l]stat implementation calls GetFileAttributes twice if the path
has trailing slashes (first with the original path passed to [l]stat, and
and a second time with a path copy with trailing '/' removed).
With Unicode conversion, we get the length of the path for free and also
have a (wide char) buffer that can be modified.

strbuf_readlink() calls readlink() twice if the hint argument specifies the
exact size of the link target (e.g. by passing stat.st_size as returned by

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre
Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting
the developer interact at given points with the current state.
Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run
certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in
bin-wrappers/git.
Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b1(test-lib: redirect stdin of

With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.
But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.
Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.
So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.

Accessing the Windows console through the special CONIN$ / CONOUT$ devices
doesn't work properly for non-ASCII usernames an passwords.
It also doesn't work for terminal emulators that hide the native console
window (such as mintty), and 'TERM=xterm*' is not necessarily a reliable
indicator for such terminals.
The new shell_prompt() function, on the other hand, works fine for both
MSys1 and MSys2, in native console windows as well as mintty, and properly
supports Unicode. It just needs bash on the path (for 'read -s', which is
bash-specific).
On Windows, try to use the shell to read from the terminal. If that fails
with ENOENT (i.e. bash was not found), use CONIN/OUT as fallback.
Note: To test this, create a UTF-8 credential file with non-ASCII chars,
e.g. in git-bash: 'echo url=http://täst.com > cred.txt'. Then in git-cmd,
'git credential fill <cred.txt' works (shell version), while calling git
without the git-wrapper (i.e. 'mingw64\bin\git credential fill <cred.txt')
mangles non-ASCII chars in both console output and input.

The `git_terminal_prompt()` function expects the terminal window to be
attached to a Win32 Console. However, this is not the case with terminal
windows other than `cmd.exe`'s, e.g. with MSys2's own `mintty`.
Non-cmd terminals such as `mintty` still have to have a Win32 Console
to be proper console programs, but have to hide the Win32 Console to
be able to provide more flexibility (such as being resizeable not only
vertically but also horizontally). By writing to that Win32 Console,
`git_terminal_prompt()` manages only to send the prompt to nowhere and
to wait for input from a Console to which the user has no access.
This commit introduces a function specifically to support `mintty` -- or
other terminals that are compatible with MSys2's `/dev/tty` emulation. We
use the `TERM` environment variable as an indicator for that: if the value
starts with "xterm" (such as `mintty`'s "xterm_256color"), we prefer to
let `xterm_prompt()` handle the user interaction.
The most prominent user of `git_terminal_prompt()` is certainly
`git-remote-https.exe`. It is an interesting use case because both
`stdin` and `stdout` are redirected when Git calls said executable, yet
it still wants to access the terminal.
When running inside a `mintty`, the terminal is not accessible to the
`git-remote-https.exe` program, though, because it is a MinGW program
and the `mintty` terminal is not backed by a Win32 console.
To solve that problem, we simply call out to the shell -- which is an
*MSys2* program and can therefore access `/dev/tty`.

For performance reasons `stdout` is not unbuffered by default. That leads
to problems if after printing to `stdout` a read on `stdin` is performed.
For that reason interactive commands like `git clean -i` do not function
properly anymore if the `stdout` is not flushed by `fflush(stdout)` before
trying to read from `stdin`.
In the case of `git clean -i` all reads on `stdin` were preceded by a
`fflush(stdout)` call.

HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places,
including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd,

implement the same logic to be able to call git directly.

Git on native Windows exclusively uses UTF-8 for console output (both with
mintty and native console windows). Gettext uses setlocale() to determine
the output encoding for translated text, however, MSVCRT's setlocale()
doesn't support UTF-8. As a result, translated text is encoded in system
encoding (GetAPC()), and non-ASCII chars are mangled in console output.
Use gettext's bind_textdomain_codeset() to force the encoding to UTF-8 on
native Windows.

As suggested privately to Brendan Forster by some unnamed person
(suggestion for the future: use the public mailing list, or even the
public GitHub issue tracker, that is a much better place to offer such
suggestions), we should make use of gcc's stack smashing protector that
helps detect stack buffer overruns early.
Rather than using -fstack-protector, we use -fstack-protector-strong
because it strikes a better balance between how much code is affected
and the performance impact.
In a local test (time git log --grep=is -p), best of 5 timings went from
23.009s to 22.997s (i.e. the performance impact was *well* lost in the

On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.
The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection", where
Windows sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and
even sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.
The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.
In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).
There are two ways to prevent those two behaviors: Either you embed an
application manifest within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by .manifest) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.
A recent enough MSVC compiler should already embed a working internal
manifest, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.
Very lightly tested on Wine, where like on Windows XP it should not make
any difference.

That comes in handy when the output would otherwise misinterpreted by a
